I got my top tree yesterday. I got half into it and didn't have the right size socket for the neck. I should have taken a pic but I forgot in the excitement. I placed the speedo on the new tree and there was plenty of room for my short risers in front of the speedo. I'm stoked. I have to buy some riser bolts and bushings I guess? Figuring out as I go. Pics soon.

Harley Pull backs.

No need to change hoses or cables.

Default Todd's FXS Top Tree

I still can't find the right size socket for the neck so it will be a while before I actually get her installed. Here is a pic with everything lined up as it will sit. Can't upload pics from our phone apparently so I'll post it when I get home tonight.

Well once my new 16" bars from Burleigh come in, I will start my custom work with the stock bars by chopping them up and share with you all the progress. As I would to also like have a choice of another set sitting on my shelf just in-case I feel like a change.

The risers are an old set from Custom Chrome that I did some engraving on. They actually will not work. They are too wide. I'm going to order two piece risers when I decide what I want. Thanks. This piece has made me very happy.

Well so far from the PICs it looks amazing! I really think the Risers look good too, sad they don't work cause they really look the part.

Thanks for taking the time and posting it up, as it really helps give a visual on the options.

Ill be watching this thread as you go along
